Ingredients
- 12⁄3 lbs 750 g green cabbage
- 5 oz. 150 g butter
- 11⁄3 lbs 600 g ground beef
- 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 2 2 garlic clovegarlic cloves
- 3 3 scallion, in slicesscallions, in slices
- 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped or grated
- 1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Wasabi mayonnaise
- 1 cup 225 ml mayonnaise
- ½ - 1 tablespoon ½ - 1 tablespoon wasabi paste
Instructions
- Shred the cabbage finely using a sharp knife or a food processor.
- Fry the cabbage in 2–3 ounces (60–90 g) butter in a large frying or wok pan on medium-high heat, but don't let the cabbage turn brown. It takes a while for the cabbage to soften.
- Add spices and vinegar. Stir and fry for a couple of minutes more. Put the cabbage in a bowl.
- Melt the rest of the butter in the same frying pan. Add garlic, chili flakes and ginger and sauté for a few minutes.
- Add ground meat and brown until the meat is thoroughly cooked and most of the juices have evaporated. Lower the heat a little.
- Add scallions and cabbage to the meat. Stir until everything is hot. Add salt and pepper to taste, and top with the sesame oil before serving.
- Mix together the wasabi mayonnaise by starting with a small amount of wasabi and adding more until the flavor is just right. Serve the stir-fry warm with a dollop of wasabi mayonnaise on top.

Does this look/feel right to you? My calorie intake on this meal alone was about 85% of my allotted total. I want to still stay within a good calorie range while doing these recipes. I’m guessing net carb was 5.6 which if correct fits the Keto theme. I’m just concerned about these other numbers. Perhaps my Fitness Pal input skills aren’t accurate? Any guidance is much appreciated to ensure I lose and don’t gain!
and did not have scallion so I used finely chopped onion and rice vinegar for the white wine; only used 1 tsp because it is rice vinegar. and I did substitute sour cream for the mayonnaise; it was incredible thank you.
I also subbed in Sambal paste for the chili flakes - way more flavor.
Quick easy, simple ingredients and very tasty especially with the wasabi mayo. Crack slaw indeed!
Very exciting
1. Skip the mayo/wasabi. Too many calories in the mayo and wasabi can be replaced with much cheaper horseradish. Next time I'll mix yogurt and horseradish.
2. The sesame oil is dripped on the dish - unless you use sesame oil for other things, skip it.
3. White wine vinegar: if you don't have it, just use red - you won't notice any difference.
4. How fine do you have to cut the cabbage? Not much. I just chopped it into chunks like I was making soup - random sizes. No fine cut for sure and it cooked easily.
5. Don't worry about 1 2/3 lb cabbage or 1 1/3 lb beef. It won't matter. Use a small head of cabbage. And 1.5 lb beef won't hurt.
This needs more depth in the flavor; I'm going to add bouillon paste and see if it helps.
Also on the two week challenge, can you mix and match different dinners on different days or would you exceed the carb daily max? Seems like you can, right?

This is incredibly easy and very tasty. I used 80% lean beef to get some fat. Not sure that anything leaner would have enough liquid for it to come to pressure.
